Customer Reviews
At least Brit Hume is interesting...
Unfortunately the person sitting by the mic made me want to jab myself in the eye. The first three minutes you could barely hear Brit. During the first twenty minutes alone a phone buzzed, somebody poured a fizzy drink, I heard a couple of zippers... really distracting. I found a way to enjoy it anyway, but I wish people recording these things would be aware of these kinds of problems.
